AH-1G Cobra

by RJ Tucker (1:72 Monogram)

I finished this snake last year; the ancient Monogram 1/72 AH-1G Cobra kit. I scratch built the cockpit using the Testors/Italeri AH-1T parts as a template. That worked surprising well. I scratch built the minigun pod then cast resin copies, I added a brass exhaust pipe and reworked & lengthened the main rotor. The markings I used are from Joseph Osbornís great Fireball decals. We really need a state-of-the-art Vietnam era 1/72 scale (of course) AH-1G kit!
